What to do if Cardinal Accessories shows an ERROR message?
If your Cardinal Accessories displays an ERROR message, it means an invalid keypad entry was attempted. This could be due to several reasons: * Pressing PRINT with a negative weight. * Pressing TARE with a negative value. * Entering a tare weight exceeding the scale's capacity. * Entering a tare weight inconsistent with the scale's division value. * Pressing ZERO when the gross weight is outside the zero weight range. * Pressing lb/kg to switch to kilograms when the kilogram tare weight exceeds 4 digits. Determine which of these reasons applies and take corrective action.
What does OVERFLOW mean on my Cardinal Accessories scale?
The 'OVERFLOW' error on your Cardinal Accessories scale means the indicator is trying to display a positive number with more than seven digits, or a negative number with more than six digits. Return to Gross Weight mode and check the Tare value. This may also indicate miscalibration.
Why does my Cardinal Accessories scale say UNSTABLE?
The 'UNSTABLE' message on your Cardinal Accessories scale indicates motion is present when trying to power up, print, zero, or perform a push-button tare. Wait for a stable weight display (when the STABLE symbol is on) before performing any of these operations.
What causes ANALOG HIGH error on Cardinal Accessories?
The 'ANALOG HIGH' error on your Cardinal Accessories indicates that the load cell input is above the allowed range of the indicator. Check for improper load cell wiring, excessive load, and ensure the output is between 1 to 40mV. If the issue persists, it may indicate a load cell or circuit failure, and you should consult your scale service provider.
What does CHECK ZERO mean on Cardinal Accessories?
If your Cardinal Accessories displays 'CHECK ZERO' during a Digital Fill Control or Batcher operation with DUMP GATE=YES and AUTO TARE=NO, it indicates that the weight is above the zero tolerance value. Determine the reason for the error display and take the appropriate corrective action.
What does FILE FULL mean on Cardinal Accessories?
If your Cardinal Accessories displays 'FILE FULL', it means you're trying to add an ID when the ID file is full. Determine the reason for this error and take the appropriate corrective action.
What does CHECK MATL mean on Cardinal Accessories?

Determine the reason for the error display and take the appropriate corrective action.
What to do if the load cell input is below the allowed range of the Cardinal 225 Scales indicator?
If the load cell input is below the allowed range, this may indicate a load cell or circuit failure. Check for improper load cell wiring and ensure the output is between 1 to 40mV.
Why is Cardinal Scales displaying incorrect weight?
Several factors can cause Cardinal Scales to display an incorrect weight: * Verify the indicator has been calibrated. * Ensure the scale platform isn't touching any adjacent objects. * Check the load cell connector wiring. * If using four-wire load cells, ensure the sense lead jumper (J9) is installed. * Confirm proper operating procedures are being followed.
